Hi guys, does anyone have a battery cover going spare? I've just noticed that mine is broken, and the only new ones I can find for sale (other than at the dealers) are the carbon ones, and I don't want to fork out a great deal on styling just yet... At least until a few months after servicing, replacing brake pads, etc... Cheers Nige

I guess everyone was a newbie once... Got my first service coming along as a zed owner early November, and going to do it myself (under a Mechanic in the family's supervision). Bricking it!! I've changed pads before, but thats about the limit so far... Will deffo be taking a few ics though while its up on the ramp...

Cheers Biscuit, will give it a go, can't hurt!

I was starting to suspect that... There are no stupid questions, just stupid people... So if I've got a slight odour in the cabin when the air conditioning is not switched on, any ideas that may be? That could be wind I suppose it is more noticable after a night on the ales...

I'm in a similar situation, 4 year old zed with 24,000 on the clock... I'm changing the oil, oil filter, brake pads, but was also considering changing some of the filters. I was going to change the air filter for a K&N one, and was looking into the cabin air filter, but I couldn't find a replacement listed anywhere. Are these usually lifed, do you have to clean them out, or can you buy replacements anywhere? Any ideas guys? also is there anything else that should be changed? Cheers folks...

UNLUCKY!!!! No hard feelings?

have you got the instruction booklet for the adapter? If you need I'll scan it in tomorrow and post it tomorrow night. I just bought mine last week and it paired up straight away... although the control unit was a german one, so had to replace that... Know anyone who wants a German language control unit?

Hi all, A couple more photos now that she's nice and shiny! My pride and joy...

Thanks guys, the control unit was included with the BT adapter that I bought, so I just switched the german one for the UK one... Works fine! I wonder if they make one that speaks Northern...

did anyone in a bright orange '04' plate Z startle me out of the footy results and then swap waves just short of chievely services on the M4 earlier today? cheers Nige

Hi guys, I've just got my bluetooth adapter off fleabay, fitted it, it seems to work ok... except that when I try to use the voice dialing, it speaks to me in German! I've got the standard OEM Bose head unit, cradle, and adapter. Also, when I push and hold the voice command button, I get straight through to the talking clock... which I didn't think I had on speed dial... I'm pretty sure that the language thing is either something to do with the radio set up, though I can't find anything in the manual. When you push the PTY button and turn it on, it lets you select english language, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. The voice commands may be a incompatibility with the phone... I have a sony Ericsson c902 or osomething like that... Any ideas?

sorry to hear, condolences...

not got many... will have to sneak a few next time its polished up and the girlfriend's not looking...

Hmmm, don't think so, I tend to use one in Filton... But thanks for taking an interest... Must admit, I always have a good look when I see another Zed go past...

Hi all, I thought it was about time I said hello... I bought my '04 Azure Blue Zed GT pack just over 5 months ago, and not stopped smiling since. I signed up to this great forum just before buying, and this was a help in deciding between the Zed and the RX8 (plus driving a Zed owned by a friend). I'm coming up for a service in November (about 24K), and was intending on replacing front and rear pads, particularly after spotting some of the posts showing deterioration of the OEM pads within the technical forums. I was also intending to replace the spark plugs... Thanks for sharing all your pointers, they're coming in handy in aquiring the kit in preparation! My only two questions would be, are there any recommendations for anything else that should be changed around this time? Generally, would you recommend OEM or aftermarket for normal road use (plus a rare track day now and again)? Cheers Folks!
